Abstract

A golf putting device comprises a set of spaced golf balls or wheels with a sighting device, in the form of an actual or simulated golf ball, disposed therebetween. If both outer balls or wheels are struck simultaneously by a putter, the device will be propelled forward along a straight path; if one ball or wheel is struck ahead of the other, the device will be propelled along a curved path.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A golf putting device comprising: a pair of spaced concentrically rotating wheels having a crown diameter approximating that of a golf ball and being spaced from each other by a distance for being addressed by a putter;   a sighting device in the form of an actual or simulated golf ball concentrically mounted between and to said wheels, and   the diameter of said wheels being slightly greater than that of said ball for causing said ball to be free of rolling contact with an underlying surface upon which said wheels roll.   
     
     
       2. A golf putting device as set forth in claim 1, and a shaft upon which said wheels and ball are mounted concentrically. 
     
     
       3. A golf putting device as set forth in claim 1, each of said wheels having a respective recess in its side which faces the other wheel and said actual or simulated ball being secured within the respective recess of each wheel. 
     
     
       4. A golf putting device comprising: a pair of spaced wheels having a crown diameter approximating that or slightly larger than that of a regulation golf ball, said wheels being spaced from one another by a distance for being addressed by a putter;   a golf ball or golf ball simulating sighting device disposed in the space between said wheels, said ball or sighting device being of a diameter smaller than that of said wheels for causing said wheels to be in rolling contact with a surface along which said putting device is to be propelled and said ball or sighting device to be free of such contact, and   means for causing said wheels and ball or sighting device to be secured to one another for rotating in a unitary manner.
